Former Parker New York Salesroom gun. This is an early 1885 manufacture. Later that year, Parker transitioned from a smooth top rib to the familiar rib matting, and this gun was sent back to the factory for rib matting, then returned to the showroom.

Higher grade external hammer guns have four pivot pins of the action to the side plate whereas lesser grades have three, making the hammer action more rigid in the higher grade guns.

Shown with a replica Parker Shell Top case.
